With Somatic Descent, you are invited to tune in to the natural wisdom of your body, refine and amplify it, and explore it fully. In this program pioneering teacher Dr. Reggie Ray presents a fascinating audio program on this rich dimension of Tibetan Buddhism: how to go beyond the veil of the thinking mind to tap the wondrous yet wholly trustworthy domain of your body.

Healing the Core Wound of Unworthiness: The Gift of Redemptive Love

"So many of us hold a deep belief that we were born unworthy," reflects Adyashanti, "inadequate, unlovable, and alone." But what if, in truth, we weren't put here to pay penance, change our karma, or "fix" ourselves? What if we chose to be here because we so loved the world that we poured ourselves into it - to make it whole again, to restore "the hidden divinity amid the disaster"? With Healing the Core Wound of Unworthiness, we're invited to entertain that possibility.

The Mind-Body Code: How the Mind Wounds and Heals the Body

You know that your mind influences your health-but what's influencing your mind? Unless you answer this question, teaches Dr. Mario Martinez, you may be missing a key component on the journey to health and personal excellence.

Mind: A Journey to the Heart of Being Human

A scientist's exploration into the mysteries of the human mind. Neuroscience studies the brain, but what does science have to say about the mind? A full examination of what we mean by the term "mind" has traditionally been the province of philosophers, but what might neuroscience teach us about it? How does the mind differ from consciousness? And how do we know who we really are?

The Brain's Way of Healing: Stories of Remarkable Recoveries and Discoveries

This book is about the discovery that the human brain has its own unique way of healing. For centuries we believed that the price we paid for our brain's complexity was that, compared to other organs, it was fixed and unregenerative - unable to recover from damage or illness. In his revolutionary new book, Norman Doidge turns this belief on its head.

The Code of the Extraordinary Mind: 10 Unconventional Laws to Redefine Your Life and Succeed on Your Own Terms

The Code of the Extraordinary Mind is a blueprint of laws to break us free from the shackles of ordinary life. It makes a case that everything we know about the world is mostly decided not by rational choice but instead by conditioning and habit. And thus most people live their lives based on limiting rules and outdated beliefs about pretty much everything - love, work, money, parenting, sex, health, and more - that they inherit and pass on from generation to generation.

Feel overwhelmed by your thoughts? Struggling with anxiety about your daily tasks? Or do you want to stop worrying about life? The truth is we all experience the occasional negative thought. But if you always feel overwhelmed, then you need to closely examine how these thoughts are negatively impacting your lifestyle. The solution is to practice specific mindfulness techniques that create more "space" in your mind to enjoy inner peace and happiness.

Self-Compassion Step by Step: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself

Why does it feel so natural to be compassionate and kind to those we care about - yet so hard to treat ourselves the same way? "Our culture teaches us to use self-criticism for motivation and to build self-esteem by constantly measuring ourselves against everyone else," says Dr. Kristin Neff. "We need to re-learn the essential skill of being genuinely nurturing and supportive toward ourselves."

Sleep: The Myth of 8 Hours, the Power of Naps...and the New Plan to Recharge Your Body and Mind

One third of our lives is spent trying to sleep. Most us have disturbed, restless nights and rely on a cocktail of caffeine and sugar to drag us through the day. Yet the hours we spend in bed shape our moods, motivation and decision-making skills - defining our performance in work, at home and while keeping fit. We need a new approach to sleep. In this groundbreaking audiobook, Nick Littlehales, elite sleep coach to some of the world's leading sports stars and teams, lays bare his strategies.

How to reframe disappointment (because not getting what we want can be as interesting and useful as getting what we want).

Each story and lesson in the book guides listeners to release the blocks to what they most long for: happiness, security, and clear direction. The lessons help listeners relinquish the need to control so they can relax into a sense of certainty and freedom.

Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender

Letting Go describes a simple and effective means by which to let go of the obstacles to enlightenment and become free of negativity. During the many decades of the author's clinical psychiatric practice, the primary aim was to seek the most effective ways to relieve human suffering in all of its many forms. The inner mechanism of surrender was found to be of great practical benefit and is described in this book.

Self-Esteem: Fast Proven Treatment for Recovery from Low Self-Esteem

Don't let low self-esteem rule your life - overcome it fast with easy practicable steps. Low self-esteem can affect every area of our lives. It can be a horrible curse to live with, but thankfully one that can be beaten. Dr. Jennifer Alison's Self-Esteem: Fast Proven Treatment for Recovery from Low Self-Esteem is a much-praised international best seller, thanks to its practical and easy-to-implement advice.

Buddhist Tantra: Teachings and Practices for Touching Enlightenment with the Body

For 15 centuries the realized masters of the tantric path used the crucible of their own lives to develop a powerful and accelerated means to enlightenment. Today, these teachings remain alive within the usually hidden inner courtyard of the Vajrayana vehicle of Tibetan Buddhism, a tradition that requires the courage to engage your body, your human desires, and your most challenging life obstacles as the basic fuel for insight.

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Creating Freedom: Power, Control and the Fight for Our Future

The ideal of freedom is at the heart of our political and economic system. It is foundational to our sense of justice, our way of life, our conception of what it is to be human. But are we free in the way that we think we are? In Creating Freedom, Raoul Martinez brings together a torrent of mind-expanding ideas, facts and arguments to dismantle sacred myths central to our society - myths about free will, free markets, free media and free elections.

Publisher's Summary

Scientifically grounded practices for healing and transformation.

Modern neuroscience shows that what we do and think can change the physical structure of the brain - yet often this occurs unconsciously, when we habitually react to stress in unhealthy ways. Lisa Wimberger created Neurosculpting® as a complete approach for consciously reshaping our brains for greater happiness, health, creativity, and compassion. With Neurosculpting, she offers you in-depth training in this powerful process for using meditation, mindfulness, diet, and unique daily practices to help you create positive, lasting changes in your brain - and your life.

Rewiring your brain for resilience and happiness.

The first step in Neurosculpting is to change the way you deal with stress. You'll learn why the brain instinctively responds to everyday stress as a physical threat - and how you can "rewrite the script" that your nervous system follows when stressful situations arise. From there, Lisa offers guided meditations and practical strategies to help you improve your physical and emotional health, discover calm and joy, clear self-limiting beliefs, increase your creative flexibility, and connect to others. Through her groundbreaking work with first-responders, Lisa Wimberger has discovered which practices have the greatest success for creating positive change at the neurological level. Rich with scientific research and proven techniques, Neurosculpting is a complete course for becoming an active agent in your own healing and transformation.

Alot of the chapters are focused on meditation sessions which is okay...but I guess I am too impatient. it's a good book for general outlook in life bit I was looking for it to address my panic attacks. So for me it was too long winded.

This is a fantastic book for those investigating neuroscience at a basic level. Lisa Wimberger reads clearly and thoughtfully, and her explanation is thorough. Not only does she provide incredibly straightforward insights into the science of brain-change, she also guides the listener through practical applications, which help the concepts to come alive.

What other book might you compare Neurosculpting to, and why?

I would also recommend Caroline Leaf's material, as she explains clearly and provides practical application.

What does Lisa Wimberger bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Its really helpful to be able to listen to the guided exercises, rather than having to read and remember what to do.

I came across this book at exactly the right time, in my own journey I was also led to study the brain and the limbic system! Now I was wanting to learn more about neuroplasticity and meditation...Lisa explains all of this perfectly and beautifully!

She takes you on many guided meditations into re-sculpting your brain, her technique and voice play the perfect role in guiding you on this journey! I learned a lot and will continue reading all of her materials!

Story

"Outstanding"

Would you listen to Neurosculpting again? Why?

This author brings it all together - the neuroscience that is transforming the practice of psychiatry and psychology; the fundamental spiritual nature of our being; the connection between our physical wellness, psychological wellness and spiritual wellness; and how to dislodge the firmly entrenched but damaging habits we have all developed in the process of growing up and trying to find our way in a disconnected, anxious and angry world.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Neurosculpting?

This is the first spiritual leader I have ever heard speak frankly to the fact that we have unnecessarily resigned ourselves to a bleak old age, and a dismal future in a culture that glorifies youth. The tools that we need to completely change this resignation into hope for a productive and health future are all here - spiritual (meditation), physical (diet and exercise) and psychological (habits of negative thinking). All validated by years of research and science, supported by what we are discovering about how the mind and body work together.

What about Lisa Wimberger’s performance did you like?

The author's tone is completely honest and unpretentious. She seeks out and articulates the listeners inner voices of doubt and concern, responding reasonably and convincingly without asking for any suspension of disbelief, or suggesting that blind faith is a requirement.

The mark of a true spiritual leader is that they do not ask you to rely on their authority and knowledge - they ask and even demand that the spiritual seeker look within and identify for themselves, based on their own experience, what they know to be true. They do not require students to accept doctrine and dogma without question. In fact, they do not present any doctrine or dogma at all. And they do not assign responsibility for our poor choices to some external source of evil. The author meets all of these criteria and more.

What insight do you think you’ll apply from Neurosculpting?

I went through a period in my life where I had a well-paying job, was very fit, and decided to add a formal spiritual practice to my daily routine, and began to learn about and practice Tibetan Buddhism. Spirituality as a fashion accessory. Anxiety and depression became such significant drivers in my life, I ended up ranging further afield for solutions.

I read almost compulsively about neuroplasticity, and advances in understanding the interaction between genes and the environment, and effects on behaviors. About two years ago I learned about trauma-informed care, and in my opinion it should completely revolutionize psychotherapy. To me, the most important point from this book is the balance and communication that needs to be established and maintained between different aspects of the brain. We think of our brains as a single unit, when really they are much more like a small house with a bunch of additions that all have a different purpose. They don't communicate with each other, and some parts run on completely different neuro systems.

Any additional comments?

This is a comprehensive toolkit, very well researched and organized, the delivery of the material is excellent, and the approach taken to emotional and mental healing is valid and reliable. I wish I could get everyone I know to listen to this.

"Excellent."

Lisa is amazing because she not only guides you through the meditations but also explains what's happening neurologically as she does.

The entire neurosculpting concept is based on psychological therapies, EMDR by Dr Francine Shapiro, and Somatic Experiencing by Dr Peter Levine, another pioneer in the field of healingApparently, she has tweaked it a little, called it neurosculpting and further expanded the applications of the therapies into separate books on anxiety etc. Although well put together, it reflects poorly on Ms Lisa Wimberger as it reeks of plagiarism and questions her own authenticity as a self acclaimed healer
